2024-2030 Powell St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story, four-unit apartment building at 2024-2030 Powell Street in North Beach, owned by Lillian L Wong, was constructed in 1906 and has undergone several significant maintenance events over its lifetime. Most recently, in August 2024, the building received a substantial roof renovation with the installation of bitumen roofing material over approximately 13 squares, at a cost of $11,000, representing proactive maintenance of this critical building component.

The building has a history of routine housing inspections conducted by Housing Inspection Services in 2001, 2005, and 2010, all of which were resolved without any noted ongoing concerns. Recent maintenance issues include the replacement of a side sewer vent cover in August 2024, which was promptly addressed.

The property has experienced some exterior maintenance challenges, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, with records of graffiti from 2022 when Public Works enforcement of the San Francisco Graffiti Ordinance was temporarily suspended, resulting in a backlog of complaints. The building's exterior has encountered various urban maintenance issues typical of the neighborhood, including reports of debris, sidewalk cleaning needs, and parking violations, though these were primarily street-level concerns rather than building-specific problems. Notably, there were two attempts (one approved, one disapproved) to obtain a variance for a rear yard addition to the building, though these appear to have been ultimately unsuccessful.
